The Red Library DLV project, or Red Library for short, is a long run DC project by XS that uses Bandwidth not CPU power and increases our DC Vault rank. Here is what the people who create the project give as an explanation;
What is Red Library?
Red Library is Ready Response's search engine with a difference - every single link in the database is hand picked (at present 7000+ links) and categorized. It is a tremendous resource and used by many other sites/visitors worldwide, but as with all search engines there is always a possibility that a link in the database will become a broken a link (404).
What is this projects purpose?
The idea behind this project was to make a client application which downloads links from the Red Library server, validates them (i.e. checks to see if they are 404 or not) and then returns the results back to Red Library. The Red Library server will then double check all the links that come back reported as 404, and remove the links if they are found to be down over a period of 7 days or longer. Basically - the more people that run the client, the less bad links will be present in Red Library!
Although this project is not seen as overly useful it uses near 0 cpu power and instead relies on bandwidth like MJ-12 and DIMES so you can run a cpu intensive DC project such as rosetta along side it. Red Library however has the advantage of using less bandwidth per client than either MJ-12 or DIMES. I have also only seen mine use 15mb of ram (in task manager) per client so many can be run on one boxen.
SETUP GUIDE
1)First you must register by following this link here and await them to email you your password. You then have to join the Xtreme Systems team this can be done by clicking Join on the team page here
Once you have joined the team and recieved the email from ready response containing your password you can proceed to download and setup the client.
2)You can download the client from this page here at the moment there are only clients for windows and mac but they are working on a linux client. You only have to download the client once even if you want to run more than one of them.
3)Once you have downloaded unzipped and installed the client you simply fill in your username and password in the boxes (you can cut and paste(ctrl+v) your password in to save trouble)) and then select how often and how much you want the client to work. This can be done through the 2 drop down boxes to the right of where you filled in your username and password. To get the most out of your client in the top drop down box labelled interval select 5 mins meaning it will work every 5 mins, next in the box below it, labbeled links, select the maximum of 10 so now the client will validate 10 links every 5 mins, this is the most one client can do.
Now this is the way I add multiple clients;
4)To replicate the client simply copy the entire folder that the client you just setup is in and paste it somewhere else (may be wise to keep all clients in one folder). Now enter the client folder you just pasted and rename the "Red-LibDLV.exe" to something else "A.exe","B.exe"etc. Now you can simply open the clients up and they will run in unison, repeat this for however many clients you want.
A problem you may encounter is the taskbar fills with clients as hixie found outso remember you can simply drag it up to stack it like this
Another way to solve the taskbar issue is to hide the icons, thank Martijn for the following:

This works agains the icons in the taskbar:
Rightclick on taskbar, select properties, press customize, then modify your icons' preferences.

I have just fired up another instance of MJ-12 that has v. high errors so i may try closing that and see if it helps.
my laptop did something now and i'm hoping to match you for the top pie James so watch out
